In order to improve the shelf life of Tofu, the effect of calcium chloride or acetic acid as coagulants were investigated for microbial and physicochemical changes during the storage in different kinds of soaking solution. The soaking water of Tofu prepared from calcium chloride was found to be spoiled after 15-17 hours of storage at $30^{\circ}C$, by reaching the bacteria count to 10million per ml. The shelf life of the Tofu prepared from acetic acid was better than those prepared by calcium chloride. For the effect of soaking solution on storage life, soaking Tofu in 0.1% acetic acid was found to be more effective than soaking in other solutions of 3% NaCl or 0.1% K-sorbate. The optical density of soaking solution of Tofu increased in proportion to spoilage, and in case of soaked Tofu in 3% sodium chloride and 0.1% K-sorbate solution, it greatly increased. Titratable acidity, and amino nitrogen contents in soaking solution increased as spoilage of Tofu progressed, but pH decreased the early period, one or two days, of stored Tofu and then increased.

The Efficacy of SHI-1909 was investigated in comparision with predinisolone in acetic acid and Picrylsulfonic acid solution (TNBS)-induced rat inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) for 5 days. 7% Acetic acid and 5% TNBS solution were administered with polyethylene (P.E) tube inserted to rats intracolon, which causing colitis to the rats. The acetic acid and TNBS control group (the saline treated colitic rat) exhibited ulceration and inflammation of the distal colon with formation of granuloma and pathologic connections. We checked the inflammatory parameters like rat's weight, food intake quantity change during administration. After 5 days, we sacrificed the rats and checked the colon's length, ulcer and pathologic condition. Oral treatment with SHI-1909 resulted in significant recovery of macroscopic parameters like weight and diet intake change. Especially, SHI-1909 had a more potent effect than prednisolone on macroscopic colonic damage score. We can suggest that SHI-1909 could be a promising drug in the treatment of IBD.

Poly(vinyl alcohol)(PVA) membranes crosslinked with Glutaraldehyde (GA) were prepared for the separation of acetic acid-water mixtures. For the preparation of the crosslinked membranes, dry PVA films were immersed for 2 days at 40$\circ$C in reaction solutions which contain different content of GA solution(25% GA in water), aceton and a catalyst, HCl. IR spectroscopy was employed to characterize the crosslinking reaction between hydroxyl groups in PVA and aldehyde groups in GA. Swelling measurements of the crosslinked membranes were carried out in both water and acetic acid to investigate the crosslinking density and swelling behaviour of the membranes.

To increase the consumer acceptability of yam and the shelf-life of fresh-cut yam, organic acid-treated fresh-cut yam was prepared. When uncontaminated fresh-cut yam was stored at $4^{\circ}C$ for 14 days after treatment with 1% (v/w) organic acids, the browning and microbial putrefaction of fresh-cut yam were inhibited by treatment of acetic acid or maleic acid, whereas treatment of citric acid and ascorbic acid, commonly used browning inhibitors in food industry, did not show apparent effects on the browning and putrefaction of yam. The Inhibitory effects of acetic acid or maleic acid were superior than those of NaOCl (100 ppm), hydrogen peroxide (100 ppm) or commercially available washing solution. Also, treatments of 1% acetic acid, or 1% maleic acid Into artificially-contaminated yam $(10^5\;CFU/g-yam)$ showed strong inhibition of browning and putrefaction during long term storage at $4^{\circ}C$. The growth inhibition test indicated that 0.1% is enough to inhibit the growth of psychrotrophic yam-putrefactive Pseudomonas sp., and treatment of 0.1% acetic acid, or 0.1% maleic acid inhibited the browning and microbial putrefaction of fresh-cut yam. Our results suggested long-term distribution of yam or other root crops products is possible by treatment of organic acid, such as acetic acid, combined with aseptic vacuum packaging technology.

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is the main causal bacteria occurring stomach diseases such as gastritis and gastric ulcer. These bacteria are found in most adults' stomach. Especially, 60~90% of H. pylori is found in Korean stomach. As a lot of curing methods have been applied to remove H. pylori and certain effects have been done but it's impossible to remove it perfectly with the existing medicines for curing. Therefore, it's very urgent to develop a certain substance showing more excellent effect than the existing medicines. In this study, it wasfound that organic acids can be accessed easily, inserted into mouth for curing and has excellent sterilizing effect among the substances showing excellent antibiotic power. Among them, acetic acid showed the most excellent effect. To confirm the refraining power against H. pylori, we performed tests through in vitro contact testing methods by concentration and tsta. In the result, H. pylori were terminated perfectly in the solution of acetic acid more than 0.3% within 1 minute. With a base of the result of In vitro test, It was performed in vivo test. As the results, H. pyloriwere terminated perfectly on 0.2% solution of acetic acid from the result of confirming through urease test, ELISA method and RT-PCR. Therefore, the result of this research will be very useful information in developing the functional foodstuffs using acetic acid in order to terminate H. pylori on the people's stomach, who suffers from H. pylori.

The effect of agitation speed on mass transfer coefficient in the extraction of citric acid from mixed aqueous solutions of citric and acetic acid with n-butylacetate solutions of di-isotridecylamine(DITDA) and 50% mixture of tri-n-octyl and try-n-hexyl phosphine oxide(MOHPO), were studied in batch extractor. Experimental results showed that the degree of extraction was higher with increasing agitation speed, and was best at 200rpm and 30 minutes in batch extractor. The higher degree of extraction was obtained in mixed solution of citric-acetic acid by using DITDA than MOHPO as an carrier. Mass transfer coefficient was proportional to the degree of extraction, and $K_r=1.254{\times}10^{-3}Re^{0.536}$ was found for she extraction of citric acid by DITDA.

Water-soluble chitosan and water-insoluble chitosan with molecular weight of 2,000,000, 500,000, 80,000, and 40,000 and more than 90% degree of deacetylation were controlled to evaluate the antibacterial activity of chitosan against a pathogenic bacteria, methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA), which is being issued in the world. The Shake Flask Method and Modified Shake Flask Method were used to find out the antibacterial activities of 5types of chitosan/acetic acid solution, and the other antibacterial activities test with the cotton filter treated with chitosan /acetic acid solution. Those test methods showed the great differences ,but the results of the antibacterial activites showed the same difference.

The non-Newtonian viscosities (the specific or intrinsic viscosities) of poly(L-proline) (PLP, $M_v$=19,000 and 32,000) in various mixed-solvent systems like water-propanol and acetic acid-propanol of varying compositions were measured during the reverse mutarotation (Form II ${\rightarrow}$Form I) by the application of external pressure (up to 4.5 psi). The non-Newtonian viscosity effect was found to be larger in acetic acid-propanol system than in water-propanol system and to somewhat decrease during the reverse mutarotation at a given solvent system. The non-Newtonian viscosity behavior of PLP in aqueous salt ($CaCl_2$) solution was also studied, from which it was found that the degree of the non-Newtonian effect decreased with increasing salt concentration, and increased with increasing PLP molecular weight. These findings could be explained in terms of conformational changes of PLP in solution (like the helix-helix or helix-coil transition) involved.

The flash point is the lowest temperature at which there is enough concentration of flammable vapor to form an ignitable mixture with air. The flash point is a major physical property used to analyse the fire and explosion hazards of a flammable liquid solution. The flash point data for pure components are easily available in several literature. But the flash points of the flammable binary solutions appear to be scarce in the literature. The objective of this study is to measure and estimate the flash point of acetic acid-formic acid system. Cleveland open cup tester was used to measure the flash point. The experimental data were compared with the values estimated by the Raoult's law and the optimization methods based on van Laar and Wilson equations. As a result, the estmated values by optimization methods were found to be better than those based on the Raoult's law.
